Afghanistan's president awaits new US diplomacy - Feb 14 09
Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, has told Al Jazeera he's been waiting for a month to hear from the new US administration of President Barack Obama.
Karzai said the two countries were engaged in a "gentle wrestling match", as Obama's White House pledged to fight on in Afghanistan with or without Karzai's help.
The Afghan president is due to meet Richard Holbrooke, the US envoy, on Saturday.
